Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Marie Brizard Blackberry Liqueur offers a lush, velvety mouthfeel that makes it perfect for sipping after dinner or mixing into festive cocktails. With an ABV of 16%, this French liqueur is crafted using carefully selected blackberries, macerated to extract their full flavor and color. The result is a spirit that captures the essence of ripe fruit while maintaining a balanced sweetness.

On the palate, you’ll find deep notes of juicy blackberry layered with subtle hints of red currant and wild berries. Its natural tartness pairs beautifully with rich chocolate desserts, enhancing both the fruit and cocoa flavors. For those who enjoy savory contrasts, try it alongside blue cheese—the liqueur’s sweet berry profile complements the cheese’s creamy tang for an indulgent tasting experience.
